Beautiful flowers and I love the quote about work. Unfortunately, I've saved most of my work up all week because family is in town, so my fingers are going to be on the keyboard the next couple of days!

I can't imagine why the racoons eat your lilies. I'd think the sunflower (with its seeds) would be more tempting. Now, if there was something in those lilies – like French fries or a brownie! – I'd be tempted to invade your lily pond too. 😉
